Bridgette placed the ticket safely inside her sling bag. She looked at her husband and said, “The ship will arrive soon. So, don’t go anywhere. Do you understand?”

Haiden sighed.

“Are we really going?” he asked.

After waking up early in the morning and preparing to go to this place, he only asked that question right now?

“I really don’t think that going to another country is the best choice. I told you I am not who you think I am,” Haiden said.

Bridgette stared at her son, who was listening to their bickering. She covered the kid’s ears and said, “Can you please just shut up?”

Haiden, who thinks he does not have any fear, felt threatened at Bridgette’s words. He moved backward and clicked his tongue.

‘It’s weird that I am scared of her,’ he thought.

“The kid is listening to us,” Bridgette added.

He rolled his eyes and whispered, “But I really can’t go with the two of you. I am not who you know. I told this to you thousands of times.”

“Listen to me.”

Haiden stared at Bridgette.

“I don’

    “Wait a minute!” Bridgette asked Haiden to slow down. They’ve been running endlessly around the port. Bridgette felt tired trying to match Haiden’s pace. But Haiden, who was carrying Simon in his arm, does not display fatigue in his face. “We cannot stop here! They are still following us!” Haiden said. “But…” Bridgette looked at the sea. She saw the ship which would send them away from Cesar. However, if they run to the side of the deck, their pursuers might catch them. ‘We cannot survive for another month.’ She was torn between staying or leaving. And while Bridgette was debating, Haiden wrapped his other arm around her waist and carried her like a light cargo. “Oh! W-What are you doing?!” Bridgette asked. Simon was amazed how strong Haiden is, that he could carry two people at the same time! “Because you’re not listening!” Haiden protested. “Put me down! You’d tire yourself out!” “As if.” Haiden picked up his pace and ran effortlessly while carrying Bridgette and Simon

    Kija received a call from Gian, telling him to meet him and Xavier. To know their exact location in the huge port, Kija climbed up onto one cargo and looked around. He stared at the gigantic Ocean. “Brother Gian said that from the Ocean, it is South West.” His eyes locked in the South West direction from the Ocean. “7:00pm,” he pointed at the reflex angle while murmuring, “300 meters.” Like a predator, he marked the exact place where he could see his comrades. “Got it!” He put strength on his feet, ready to jump on each of the cargo. But when the wind blew and a fishy scent reached his nose, Kija ceased to look to his right. The fishy scent didn’t come from the salty ocean. Kija was accustomed to the smell so he knew what it was without even seeing it with his own eyes. ‘Blood.’ Kija was sure that it was the smell of the blood. “Brother Gian told me to go to their sides. But, I think I should check where this smell is coming from.” He was really a stubborn and curious kid

    Merly, the young maid who Gian planted in the Fugito mansion to spy Lewelyn, followed her madam. Lewelyn was eavesdropping to the conversation inside Cesar’s room. And so, Merly did the same thing. Although she was standing far from the room, she could hear the conversation very well. Merly has a keen sense of hearing. [“Find the data of the day when we forced Xavier to take the drug,” Cesar commanded. “When was it again? It was too long I couldn’t remember it. Anyway, find it as soon as possible. Also, get the sample of the drug from the lab.”] When Merly heard this from Cesar, she saw a chance. ‘I can get a sample of the drug!’ she cheered. All she needs to do is to follow Secretary Hugo on the way to the lab and wait for the right time to snatch one. And that’s what Merly did. After Lewelyn went back to her room and Secretary Hugo left Cesar’s place, the young maid followed Hugo. She couldn’t get inside the lab, so she only waited outside the lab while hiding behind the

    Haiden washed up inside the men’s comfort room. He had to wash the blood stains from his hands. But it was difficult to erase the stains inside his nails. “F*ck. If only I have lemon and toothpaste, then I can erase these off.” Haiden stopped when he realized that he knew how to get rid of blood stains. “How did I know that lemon can act like mild bleach to clean blood?” he wondered. With a frown, he looked at his reflection through the mirror in front of him. His face was wet, and water dripped from the tip of his blonde hair. Looking at his reflection, he remembered the man he bumped into at the port harbor. [“Why? Why do you look like that? W-Who… Who are you? That face isn’t yours.” “You know something, do you? Tell me what you know. When I woke up, they gave me a name and identity that I didn’t know. So, who am I?” “I… I don’t know. I don’t know who you are but one thing is for sure. You are not Xavier Green.”] “That man definitely knows I am not Xavier Green. I need

    “It’s your turn, Sir.”Haiden stepped towards Brethart. Every step he takes, Brethart’s heart beats faster.His father, Gabriel, told Brethart that he cannot use guns as he pleases. But during this situation, Brethart could only think of using a gun to defeat this enemy with monstrous strength! Brethart pulled out a gun. He would press the hammer down but Haiden kicked his hand.Tap. Tap. Tap. The gun flew away.Brethart looked at the gun and back to the man in front of him.‘I’m doomed.’ Brethart quickly knelt down and begged, “Spare me! Please beggar, spare me!”Haiden pointed nunchaku at Brethart and said, “Apologize.”“W-What?”“For bumping into that woman and for calling her dirty, apologize.”“W-Why? She is really dirty and…”Haiden eyed him in a way as if he would kill him if Brethart continued what he was about to say. And so, Brethart, murmured.“A-Alright! I will apologize. Sorry! Sorry for calling your wife dirty.”Haiden tapped his head with the nunchaku.“Ahh!” Breth

    It costs $2.50 just to get inside a cab, and then the rate increases $0.50 incrementally as the taxi drives along. With the remaining $5 that Bridgette holds after eating in the fast food chain, she thought they had to use the remaining money for food rather than wasting it for paying fare. “Taxi!” The taxi stopped in front of the three. “Wait!” Bridgette blocked Haiden from opening the door of the back seat. “Let’s not waste money using taxis.” “Then you expect us to walk aimlessly with our bare feet? The kid will suffer. Get out of my way. Haiden shoved Bridgette out of his sight. “Dude. Are you going in or not?” the driver asked. “I’ll add a few bucks to my meters. Gas is running.” “Oh shut up old man,” Haiden said while hopping inside the taxi. He left the door open and peeked at Bridgette and Simon. “Don’t stand there. The gas is running.” Hesitantly, Bridgette and the boy went inside the taxi. They arrived in a town that looks more decent than they have visited before.

There is no Scientific explanation as it is purely fiction. *************** ***** Xavier entered the back seat of the car. “Haiden!” Lewelyn, who was waiting for him inside the car, called. She quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him closer. “Why did you just meet me right now?” “I was busy at work. Sorry.” “Anyway, as long as you are here, it’s fine.” Lewelyn leaned her head on his shoulder and said, “I was so scared. Every night, I kept on dreaming about that man.” Xavier looked at her apathetically as he asked. "Who?" "Xavier Green." His finger's twitched, but he kept the nonchalant look on his face. “I dreamed about Xavier. He came back to kill me,” Lewelyn uttered in a trembling voice. Well, she’s not wrong. “How did he survive?” Lewelyn complained in a loud voice. “They confirmed that he wasn’t breathing anymore after taking that drug. He should have died!” The one she’s cursing at

    The Black E-Commerce Company increased its sales by 15% after a month. “He exceeded my expectation,” Gabriel said happily while looking at the graph chart that shows how much the E-Commerce’s sales were. With this, it is safe to say that Black E-Commerce survived the crisis and now, it is the second rank in E-Commerce site competition. Just a bit, it might be the first in rank. ‘Why did I realize it too late that Haiden has talent in business? I should have used him before,’ he thought. “Now all he needs is to wait until Cesar wins the election.” Gabriel lost from their deal. However, he was filled with excitement. Just how much his foster son can achieve in the future if he continues like this? ‘Can he steal the Black Corporation from Rose or Brethart?’ “Chairman,” the secretary called. “Yes. What is it?” “Sir Haiden succeeded in reviving the Black E-Commerce.” “I know. I’ve been watching the progress since day one. He must be happy to earn a lot from this project.” “He d

    In front of the wide blue sea, the red sunset to the West. Blue and Red met on the horizon. “Do you know what will happen if you mix blue and red?” A man with blonde hair and blue eyes asked while holding his fishing rod. "It's Green. The color of our eyes is blue and red. Maybe that’s why your surname is Green.” The other guy looked at him. “It’s Purple, not green.” he answered. “…” A black crow flew in the sky. “Should I laugh now?” Xavier, who still has Haiden’s face, asked. Haiden, who still had Xavier’s face, looked at him. “Shit. It's not Green?” Xavier shook his head. “Damn it. I sound so cool before. Huh! You are so serious, brother-in-law. It’s hard to joke with you,” Haiden said. "But it is not a joke," Xavier said, laughing It’s been three years since Xavier and Haiden finished their revenge on the Black family and on Fugito. A lot of things happened during the three years. Xavier had to continue his role as Haiden Black, the heir of the Black corporation. Jus

    “I should have killed you before, Haiden.”Gabriel pointed the gun at Xavier. His eyes went to the note in Xavier’s hand, then back to Xavier’s surprised face.“Were you searching for evidence to know that I am Hades B?” Gabriel asked.Xavier doesn’t know what to feel right now. Will he feel sad? Unbothered? Guilty? He had no idea.“You care for Rose?” Xavier asked.“Huh?”“The passcode was Rose’s birthday.”Gabriel frowned as he placed his index finger on the trigger of the gun.“And this note,” Xavier showed it to him. “You were supposed to send this to Odeen. Why? Did Odeen tell you who Haiden is? What’s his purpose? And that he’s looking for you?”The Chairman narrowed his eyes.“Why are you talking as if you are not Haiden?”Xavier pursed his lips and took a deep breath.“You’re not Haiden, are you?” Gabriel guessed. He tightly held the gun and shouted, “Who are you?!”Xavier didn’t answer as he tightly held the ledger and the note.“When you came back after you went missing, you

    Evening.The moon was peeking behind the clouds. Light entered the window of Gabriel’s office.A man entered inside while dragging his feet which were as light as feather.It was Xavier.Haiden and Bridgette succeeded in getting the recorder from Frederick’s wife. Kija spread the rumor and Merly found the hidden documents which will prove Gabriel’s past murder crimes.Now, all Xavier had to do was to find evidence that Gabriel is Mr. Hades B.To do that, Xavier needed Rose’s help.“I need to find a clue as soon as possible,” Xavier said.He began to search around the office. Xavier checked every crook but found nothing.Minutes passed.Xavier sighed as he couldn’t see anything in Gabriel’s office.“Is there nothing to see here? Really?”His red eyes went to the table. Xavier recalled the day when he saw Gabriel close the last cabinet in a hurry as if he didn’t want to get caught.‘I already check that place. But just to make sure, I will check it again.’He sat down and approached the

It was quiet in the mansion because Louisa and Brehart aren’t there anymore.Louisa and Gabriel filed for divorce. Brethart is still in prison. Rose was busy buying shares to strengthen her power over Black corporations.Xavier looked around the place which never became a home for him.‘Everyone is almost finished with their tasks. Now, it’s my turn,’ Xavier thought.He walked forward and the maids greeted him.“Good morning, Sir!”“Hi, Sir!”Ever since Louisa and Brethart disappeared, the maids treat him well. The power changed.“Is Rose here?”“Yes, Sir. She’s in the room.”“Okay.”Xavier walked towards Rose’s room and knocked on the door.“Come in,” Rose said.Xavier opened the door and went inside.Rose was surprised to see him back.“It’s been

    “That is what happened,” Haiden said after telling his story to Xavier and his sister, Bridgette. “Now, it solved everything. Since we have Cesar’s research team, we can find a way to bring back our old appearance,” Xavier said. “You and Bridgette had a hard time,” Haiden said. “But call me selfish. I didn’t regret losing my memories and spending normal days with my sister.” Haiden looked at Bridgette and smiled. Bridgette smiled too. “We fought a lot, right?” Haiden said to Bridgette. “Yes. Now I know why. You are not my husband but my brother.” “And siblings always fight.” Bridgette held Haiden’s hand. “Thank you, brother. For coming back and saving me.” The two smiled at each other. Xavier, who was watching them, felt weird. Is it because Haiden is still wearing his face? ‘We need to find a way to bring back our appearance as soon as possible!’ Xavier thought. “Anyway,” Haiden uttered, getting his hand from his sister. “I still have unfinished business with Gabriel.” Ha

Fuming in anger, Spade thought of nothing except making a way out of here, and venting his anger to Xavier! “It was your fault!” Spade pointed his gun to Xavier and pressed the trigger. Bang! Xavier closed his eyes, waiting for the impact. But he felt nothing. He opened his eyes and saw what happened with a swift move. Gian attacked Spade from behind. When Spade pressed the trigger, his aim was missed. “Once is enough!” Gian shouted before he pinned Spade to the ground. But the Mafioso, who experienced countless battles, did not give up. Spade pulled out another gun from his waist and shot Gian. Bang! “Uck!” “Gian!” “Brother Gian!” Gian dodged the bullet a second late, and had his left chest shot. He

On the second floor, the three Dons and the underboss were standing near the railing.Spade, Alas, Clover, and Gian.But there was a huge difference between before and today.Xavier was looking at them from the ground. And his wife and son were held captive by Spade.Today, he doesn’t need to play as the boss. Instead, he was guilty of a crime against the Harbor Mafia.“B-Bridgette, S-Simon,” Xavier uttered while looking at his family.Two large men were holding his wife and son. Spade was looking down at Xavier with a gun in his hand.He was caught. Xavier knew that Spade finally caught his secret. And the person who made it happen?Xavier tilted his head to Gian. He glared at Gian, who was smiling at him as if nothing happened.‘You bastard!’ Xavier shouted while gawking at Gian.“Everyone! Listen to me!” Spade shouted. “All this time, we

    “Congratulations on winning the 8% of the Black Corporation!”Black Corporation.All of the people in the auction hall regretted not buying the shares!But if there’s one person who regretted it the most, it was Louisa.Louisa looked at her husband.Gabriel was gritting his teeth while looking at his wife. When he saw her reaction, he could tell that she was guilty.“You...” Gabriel murmured. “Did you sell your shares to the underground business?”Heuk!Louisa felt like swallowing her tongue.Gabriel, the Chairman of the Black corporation, stood up and exited the hall.“H-Honey! Wait!” Louisa stood up too and followed her husband.Now, Rose and Xavier were left alone in their seats.“Louisa was done for, right?” Rose asked Xavier.“Yes. I don’t think father will forgive her this time,” Xavier answered.“I am curious. How did you make Louisa sell her shares? What tactic did you do?”“It is a secret that I cannot tell. The most important thing is that we got our revenge. Louisa and Bret
